OUR HISTORY 

The Young people of the Western District Conference had their first organized retreat in 1925 on the Bethel College campus. In April, 1948, the Western District Conference Youth Fellowship purchased the property located near Murdock, Kansas. The first retreat at Camp Mennoscah was held in 1949 when a small group of young people pitched their tents on the west side of the river near the old farmstead.


         OUR MISSION

    In accordance with the vision of the Western District Conference, Camp Mennoscah aspires:

  • To encourage staff and campers to follow Jesus Christ more faithfully by enriching their prayer, worship and study of scriptures;
  • To encourage the growth of community by calling and nurturing congregational and lay leaders for ministry in the unique outdoor setting that Camp Mennoscah provides;
  • To encourage the growth of community by practicing love, forgiveness and hospitality that affirms diversity and heals brokenness;
